As we are trudging through the fog of Grief and starting to swallow the reality of this all, we are trying to remember and cherish what small moments we did get with Chance. 💛
The moments when we were naive to the fact of just how scary it is when a foal arrives a month early. He looked a little small, but normal. He sat up right away and acted as any other foal would.
I was on the phone with my vet the entire process. This moment was of pure shock, but also excitement! We all were right there to witness this beautiful process! This first time Mama and her stunning new foal! 💛
The gentle nickers that they shared in those first moments of meeting will forever be held in me. 🥹💕I’m thankful we got to witness them. So precious and pure. A moment of excited bliss before reality snatched it all away.
I know there will come a day when they can once again greet each other with those nickers in pastures so green and perfect.
So as hard as it is to keep pushing forward, the fact is, we have to. Chance will never, ever be forgotten. We have learned so very much through this process. I’ll always wish I’d known or done more, but in all reality, maybe it was a beautiful thing we only noticed the beauty in the process while we could, and leaned into our Faith for the rest.
So with that, I’ll share these photos of our smiling Lu. These were moments after she brought Chance into the World. 🥹SHE WAS SO PROUD OF HIM! As she should have been. A gorgeous blue eyed palomino! Her and McDreamy made a stunner! Why things happened like they did, we will never know. There have been no clear signs to show why.
It’s not easy to think about moving forward, but we’d like something hopefully & lighter during this time of dark & heavy. We are currently on our way to bring sweet Mama Lu back home. We are making sure she is back to herself and will be watching her closely. We will keep you posted on her and what steps we will be taking next.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! The prayers, messages, comments, & cards all mean so much. 🥹 I’m having to take baby bites to swallow them all so I don’t drown in my tears, but they do help. God Bless you all! 💛🙏
